Blake Shelton was a big winner at Thursday night's Country Music Association Awards' taking home three trophies including entertainer of the year award.
"The Voice" judge scored his third straight male vocalist victory and shared the award of song of the year with wife Miranda Lambert. The pair wrote "Over You," about the death of Shelton's brother Richie in a car wreck 15 years ago. He said that trophy will always have a special place in their Oklahoma home.
"For me as a songwriter that is as personal as I can get," Shelton said, according to the Associated Press. "So that songwriter award, song of the year award, it will have its own shelf. It will have spotlights on it and an alarm and everything. Trip wires and there will be a land mine if you walk towards it. It is a real big deal to Miranda and I."
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, who was a big winner at last year's CMA was nominated for three awards this year, but unfortunately went home empty handed.
Swift was nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year, but lost those categories to Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw, respectively. All this despite the fact that her newly released album, "Red," sold over 1.2 million copies to top the Billboard charts.
